We are so honored to be named in PhillyMag’s Article: Philadelphia’s 22 Most Incredible Cake Bakers for three years in a row!
I’m Alexis, a self-taught baker and entrepreneur passionate about parties, buttercream, and cakes. My mission is to create perfect cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, and cookies for your celebrations and weddings.
I see your weddings and celebrations as pivotal moments in your life, so I pour my passion into each confection. From the first egg to the final frosting, I’m inspired by the romantic ambiance of creating a stunning cake for you.
As the Designer, I love new trends but also cherish tradition. My creations blend whimsy with elegance, often described as “too pretty to eat.”
Our name, Novel Baker, is a double entendre named for our unique cakes and a tribute to all of the “novels” I read while pursuing my Temple and Arcadia English degrees. But what started as a way to pay college loans soon became a passion.
In Doylestown, nestled behind our captivating LaColombe Cafe, is the Novel Baker’s open commercial kitchen. Here, we not only bake but also host our delightful cookie and cake decorating classes.
We bake from scratch in our open kitchen with premium, primarily organic ingredients, ensuring your cake is an incredible experience for you and your guests.
